Greek stuffed zucchini

During my weekly shopping for vegetables in the Strip district market, I sighted cute baby zucchini at the Pennsylvania Macaroni company, my favorite Italian store around here. All I knew was, I had to stuff these with something. I also remembered seeing Clotilde making something out of it. So I bagged four of these little'uns.

Almost 10 days have passed and I could find time for these only today. One of the zucchinis had become really wrinkled and past its prime. So the recipe is with 3 zucchinis.

Cut off the tops of the zucchini and save them for later. Scoop out the zucchini pulp with a teaspoon or melon baller. Season shells with salt and pepper. Spritz surface with olive oil. Bake the shells in a greased dish at 375 F for 15 min.

That zaatar sounds like exotic stuff! I wonder if it would be ok w/o the sumac, because I sure dunno where to get it in the UK :) I'm gonna use that stuffing mix for bell peppers, Mika (it sounds yummy, btw), b'cos I dont much like courgettes. Will let you know how it turns out :)
